I’m not sure it’s possible to distinguish between the two. People will find a way to take advantage of the system, whether its a social system or a financial system, whatever. The price for this sort of thing is a certain level of abuse. Many people here are seriously against that.

I guess I am. I’ve heard ridiculous rates of government dependence in some European countries. Can’t find the references right now, but in some cases the rate of dependence becomes dangerously close to more people mooching off the state than there are productive members of society.
